All people are people, it doesn't matter where you are from or what country you live in. All people are "conditioned" in one way or another. No human deserves any more than any other human no matter what. No one truely deserves what happened to this man, but unfortunatly things like this happen and will continue to happen no matter what leader or country gets involved or doesn't get involved in the Middle East situation. We were all made in the eyes of God and if humans were able to love one another no matter what their background or beliefs were and realize that we were all created the same, then people wouldn't have to bitch about decisions made by leaders given a higher power than the rest of us. Unfortunately, some people would rather bitch than help another human out and make the world a better place in their own way. About the soldier that posted this picture, he/she is a good person and is trying to do something good. The people that are making fun of him/her cannot get over the fact that he/she is American or that he/she did his/her job just like the rest of you that do work and support yourself and possibly others.
